WisPolitics.com has selected more than a dozen legislative primaries to highlight ahead of the Aug. 9 election.

Several of the contests feature Dem incumbents who are being challenged for their safe seats.

Others include the open 3rd AD in northeastern Wisconsin and the 83rd in the southeastern corner of the state. GOP Rep. Al Ott is retiring, while fellow Republican Rep. Dave Craig is running for the state Senate. In both cases, the winners of the GOP primaries will be expected to become some of the newest members of the state Legislature come January, particularly with no Dem on the ballot in the 83rd.

Interviews with candidates in more than a half-dozen key races have been posted to the WisPolitics.com Aug. 9 Primary Page, and additional interviews will be added after they run in our subscriber products.

The page also includes links to election information and candidates' websites.
